We are an accounting firm that offers taxation, business coaching, and tax advisory services to pet pros. Our team is dedicated to helping pet professionals manage their finances and achieve their business goals.

SPEAK WITH AN ADVISOR

If you use your Amazon Prime membership exclusively for qualifying business expenses (aka ordinary + necessary costs to run your business), you've got a pretty good argument to write it off!

For example, if you purchase Prime because you're constantly ordering new office supplies from Amazon for your business and you need them delivered quickly, you're good.

But, here's where things get tricky:

If you purchase things for your personal life (like groceries or birthday gifts) using your Amazon Prime membership, you'll need to allocate the cost based on what percentage is used for business vs. personal purposes.

PRO TIP: Use an Amazon Business Prime account if you need it for your business to keep things clean + separate!

Ever wonder what coaching looks like here?

Most pet pros think accounting is all numbers, but the real work starts with mindset. Every week, I help grooming business owners shift from feeling overwhelmed to seeing real profit opportunities. Sometimes, it’s about using the right tool. Other times, it’s about asking the right question.

Curious how a small shift in thinking can change your bottom line? DM me “INSIGHT” if you want to see my favorite process in action.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my amazing pet professionals and grooming business owners

I am so grateful for the work you do every day caring for pets and building businesses that support your families and your teams.

I hope you find a little space today to rest, reset, and enjoy the people and pets you love.

From my family to yours, thank you for trusting me to walk alongside you on this journey.

With gratitude,
Crystal | Pet Biz Advisors

How does a coach actually help groomers?

Ever wondered what goes into building a profitable grooming business? I spend a lot of time with my tablet, sticky notes, and a big mug of coffee, walking through the numbers and mindset shifts that make the difference.

I am really excited for this Thursday's episode. I know so many out there are maneuvering some type of neurodivergent trait(s). Myself included. It directly affects how we function on both a mental and emotional level. Add stresses of running a business, running a team, and managing money then that stress gets exacerbated. Suzi and I have a wonderful conversation about some of the symptoms a business owner may experience with various traits and how to overcome them.
Feel free to share. XOXO
